A pantomime full of thrills, laughter, romance, “it’s behind you” and lots of great music. That’s what you’ll enjoy when you come to see "The Frog Prince".

Set in the kingdom of Blackmore (of course), it’s the story of beautiful Princess Monica who has just come of age. Her father, the great and wise - but old - King Ned, wants her to find a husband to help out with royal duties. With this marriage will come great wealth, lands and power. On the eve of the celebration day, when suitors will be coming to show their suitability as a royal husband, Princess Monica meets handsome Prince Frederick and they fall in love.

But Tragedy! There’s an evil Baron who wants the Blackmore money, lands and power and he has seen Monica and Frederick meet. To stop their romance, he commands Sonia, the spiteful fairy, to turn Frederick into a frog. His only release will be a kiss from someone who truly loves him.

How can our Prince win his Princess? Does the Baron get his come-uppance? Does Edith, the castle cook ever get to bake a wedding cake? Does the king retire to watch his favourite TV programme? Do the goodies manage to save the day while the baddies put as many obstacles in their way as they can?

You’ll have to come along and see how the story unfolds.
